Junction transfers items' effects _on the minion training junction_; it does not duplicate the items themselves, or item intrinsics. So MH's aura does not get duped -- the MH aura only affects the MH, not a bow on the same minion -- but AC does. (Someone posted that AC does not -- if so that's a bug; it's intended to work.)

To repeat: no current weapons do anything that would qualify for Junction.

Junction transfers both positive and negative effects (such as armor dx penalties) but as junction gets higher it can block out the negative. At 1.0 you get 100% of the positive effect for most things, and 150% for ST and DX. At 1.0 you get 0% of the negative effect. Junction operates on the aggregate of a given effect, so if you have a TSA equipped as well as EG, you won't get 0% of the TSA penalty and 150% of the EG bonus; first the bonus and penalty get added, THEN junction is applied.

To get 1.0 you need to have 1/5 of your tattoo's effective lvl in Junction. (It started out as 1/5 of your DX/ST/spell, whichever was highest, but changed this morning.)

Ok, I tested with an AoI and I know for sure that the invisibility effect did not transfer to my familiar. He was hit by a melee weapon before my minion was. My minion was in front of it (I tested without the AoI first).

I don't know if the Evasion effect transfered though? Is it supposed to?

Yeah, I was taking penalties into account. I think you've been a little too fair on the penalty side, lol. I was half expecting the penalties to be passed over the junction link intact! You're going to get a reputation for being generous Jon!

Ok, this is my last post about this because if Jon doesn't believe me this time, I will give up on the issue...

Invisibility does not get "joined" to my familiar when my minion is wearing an AoI.

My latest test involved an attack on "The Night Spirit", and my familiar was actually shot at before some of my "visible" minions. However, the minion equiped with the familiar and wearing the AoI was decapitated last.

That is weak, Jon. Leave too much for abuse of AoI. Should make it either 0.5 or 0.3. The point here is the return of investment. A base training in Junction shouldn't automatically grant Invisibility.

Right but couldn't you just equip the familiar on an enchanter with an AoI that wouldn't train evasion anyways? I agree that there should be a minimum for it to always work or at least make the number a percentage of how often or how much will actually transfer over.
